Bequest

We believe that no child should die of diabetes and a gift in your Will would help us work towards this.

Bequests allow us to provide more support, creating a new future for more children living with type 1 diabetes in less-resourced countries.

Leaving a gift can take a number of forms:

the residue of the estate

a percentage of the estate

a specific amount of money

a life insurance or superannuation policy

assets such as shares, property, works of art, jewellery

Information for Individuals, Solicitors and Executors can be found below. For more information on making a bequest or just to have a chat please contact us, you might be surprised to hear what a small percentage of your estate can achieve.
